30by30: 8.) Sewed my own kobukusa

A kobukusa is a ceremonial cloth that is used in the Japanese Tea Ceremony to hand people warm tea. It is always carried in a hostess and guests fukusa basami and is generally one of the many fabric motifs that are famous in Japan. Today, one of my sempai Kate showed me and other students how to create these clothes. Kate provided practice fabric in this soft green with a beautiful chrysanthemum motif on it. Though only appropriate to use in the miziya, this cloth will be folded in half and tucked away for future use.
